Description: soda straw, Angelica lineariloba, California, White Mountains, Cottonwood Basin, Poison Creek, Fishlake Valley drainage, elevation 3056 m (10025 ft). More botanical fireworks! (with lots of insect visitors, mostly flies and ants) This regional endemic is found in the central and southern Sierra Nevada of California, eastward to the higher mountain ranges of the northwestern Mojave Desert and southwestern Great Basin in Inyo and Mono counties, California, and Esmeralda County, Nevada. It is found mostly in dry to moist rocky swales, slopes, and canyons, often near water sources but usually not with its feet wet, up to about 10700 feet (3260 m) elevation. The common name refers to the dry hollow stems that are left behind each year when the plants die back. Date: 28 July 2016, 10:15. Source:
